Cynmar vials referenced in this post seem to be ideal for yeast slants, and appear to handle autoclaving well. Looked them up on the Cynmar website and they appear to be a pretty low-cost item as well. Probably makes sense to order through them as A.) these don’t appear to be available on Amazon, B.) they also carry Erlenmeyer flasks at a lower price and possibly better quality than reviews indicated were likely to be seen from the brewing site I was looking to order from.
